Keywords:
Pedagogy, Design thinking, Entrepreneurship, Systematic reviewAbstract
This research aimed to synthesize a design thinking-based pedagogy for entrepreneurship education through a systematic literature review. The sample comprised research articles that passed the selection criteria, i.e. research articles published between 2018 and June 2023 in the Scopus, EBSCO, and ERIC databases, and containing design thinking-based pedagogical content. Data collection methods included research article retrieval, screening, and data extraction from selected articles. The research tools included research screening and a data extraction form. The findings revealed that a total of 129 research studies were found during the retrieval stage, but only 14 studies that passed the selection criteria. The results from the data extraction found that design thinking-based pedagogy in entrepreneurship education included a variety of approaches, such as experiential learning, constructivist learning, and pedagogy of making. The key components of the design thinking process were consisted of three elements: mindset, process, and tools. The expected learning outcomes included the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of learners towards design thinking in order to prepare students to adapt to the changes and challenges facing the business world in the future.
